Playstation fanboys: 1 Million
360 Fanboys: 7 Million, and PS3 outselling the 360 to the point that the 360 no longer has reason to exist.
Rational people: 2 Million-ish?
Owner of PS4 Pro, Xbox One, Switch, PS Vita, and 3DS
Many top PS3 games sold 3 million like Call of Duty, Assassin Creed, GTA, MGS, etc.
I think Killzone 2 needs to get into that rank of being "top PS3 games" and need 3 million sells to be considered successful.
Successful in being a top game for PS3, if Killzone 2 can't reach that threshold then it is not in PS3 top games. I think the minimum is 2 million but even then I think people will still attack its' sales. I really think Killzone 2 needs 3 million to stop attacks completely.

Well, they've done a lot of PR showing how KZ2 showcases the ps3's "power". Most recently, they said that KZ2 was only possible on ps3 so I also see the game as somewhat of a PR push not just a profit maker but you're right, they'd obviously want profits as well. I don't know what the tab came to.
In the worst case scenario, if the tab came to $100mil, I'm sure they'd want to sell 2.5 mil to make something "decent" in return.

this. i think the main goal of this game is to be a giant advertisement for the ps3, been profitable is a second objetive.

Hey Listen!
Less than 2 million would probably be a flop (the first even managed 2 million).
I think it'll end up topping Call of Duty 4 when all is said and done, though.

Success is related to what returns the game brings sony as that would ultimately decide the fate of the IP. The bickering of sony haters/lovers on this site and others is irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.

Yeah, that was how I viewed it at first especially considering the fact that the game has been hyped since E3 2005

it will sell well over 2 million i think, then lifetime it could reach mabey 4 million ish.
as other users have posted, one of the main goal of this game is a showpiece, much like shenmue back in the day.

ok, that seems more fair, but to say Sony doesnt care about profit on it is going too far.
Maybe it would be best to call it a giant advertisement that makes them a tidy profit.
